The moon shining down from above lighting the pathway through the open tundra a s the snow-capped mountains loom in the background letting you know just how vast this grand earth is. Untouched valleys of snow and trees blanketed with their white cover. Imagine the vivid northern lights bursting across the night sky as you peer over the horizon. This makes Wiseman one of the best places in Alaska (and in North America!) where you can see the northern lights most often and with greatest intensity. Wiseman is located closed to what scientists describe as the ‘maximum zone close to 67 degrees north’. During our nights in Wiseman we will keep a watchful eye for the northern lights. Soon after crossing the Arctic Circle you will reach the foothills of the Brooks Range, and a couple hours later you will arrive at our oasis in the wilderness in Wiseman, population 13, a historic gold mining community town located in the heart of the Brooks Range. North of the Arctic Circle is the land of the midnight sun, where the sun never sets during the summer. You will travel through the boreal forest and north of the Yukon River you will reach a milestone on our trip: the iconic Arctic Circle, an invisible line at the elegant latitude of 66✣3′. Also known as the Haul Road, the Dalton Highway is critical to the delivery of material, equipment and supplies to the Prudhoe Bay oil fields. Made famous by the recent Ice Road Trucker series, it’s considered by many to be one of North America’s most scenic and beautiful wilderness roads. You head north along the James Dalton Highway, a 414 mile road connecting Deadhorse to the Elliot Highway near the town of Livengood, located approximately 80 miles north of Fairbanks.
Intensity varies from night to night, with the best viewing from late evening through the morning hours. The location offers a great balance of occurrence, frequency and activity. Fairbanks is located under what is called the “Aurora Oval”, a ring-shaped region around the North Pole. The next week is all about fun and chasing the magnificent northern lights, and if the conditions are right, you will already head out tonight to view the northern lights in a location away from the city lights with a spectacular and spectacular and breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view.
